I'm a Bogman - Luka Bloom

So many people look at the bog

As a place that just lies dead

Nothing to do for the body

Nothing to do for the head

Take me where the heather and the moss grows

The turf lies row after row

Out there in the sun to dry

I breathe it in as I pedal on by

With the kids and the dogs mucking together

Bringing in the turf

No matter what the weather

I’m a bogman

Deep down, it’s where I come from…

I’d love to see Arizona

Or the West Australian sands

But my heart belongs to those precious wetlands

No matter where your travelling takes you

Sure the bog will never leave you

Some people look for God above

Down in the bog I found love

Where the heather and the moss grows

The turf lies row after row

Out there in the sun to dry

I breathe it in as I pedal on by

With the kids and the dogs mucking together

Bringing in the turf

No matter what the weather

I’m a bogman

Deep down, it’s where I come from…

Think about it

You love a cuppa tea by the turf fire

Your arms around your heart’s desire

The two of you looking out at the midland night

At the shooting stars and the satellites

Turf smell warms hearts

'Til the huggin' and the kissin' starts

Bog love surrounds you

A beautiful place to come to

I’m a bogman

Deep down, it’s where I come from…
